Secrecy and security of personal data

However, as Silicon Valen cannot guarantee impregnability of the Internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without delay when a breach of security of personal data occurs that is likely to involve a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individual  persons.
